Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 whole pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Set aside 1 cup of whole strawberries for garnish (optional). Cut the remaining strawberries in half and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk together until smooth.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to boil and thicken. This should take approximately 5-8 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool slightly while you prepare the crust and strawberries.
Arrange the halved strawberries evenly in the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust.
Pour the warm glaze over the strawberries, ensuring that all of the fruit is evenly coated.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the glaze is fully set.
Before serving, garnish the pie with the reserved whole strawberries and dollops of whipped cream, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your fresh strawberry pie!
